Making Faces

Product Information

i’ve ‘read’ this from cover-to-cover but have yet to practice the techniques generously detailed in the book (it’s the first makeup book to really show contouring to the public, though drag queens had already been way ahead of all of us during this time). very useful for beginners, but people that have loved doing makeup on themselves for a while will also find a few useful tips and tricks.

He was a guest on many television programs, including Oprah , the Today show, Good Morning America , VH-I's Fashion Television , MTV's House of Style and Entertainment Tonight . Beans, Jessie, Paul, and Grant are Ambrose’s best friends that died in war while serving alongside Ambrose. I think that the climate of today's cancel culture would definitely not let him get away with saying that so this book definitely shows it is from another era. Kevyn Aucoin's faces appeared in editorial features, fashion shows, music videos, and advertising campaigns as well as on the covers of virtually every major magazine.Back then I was probably more interested in the pictures than anything else this book had to offer (it has a lot! This book is great for beginners who want to get a brief but informative look into the makeup industry. e. some of the models are clearly wearing white eyeliner, blusher and mascara on their lower eyelashes yet this is omitted from the makeup instructions. Despite all this, the actual content and tips provided me with no new knowledge, being a make-up lover and fervent viewer of many YouTube make-up artists. I'm not saying he had to go nuts with special effects makeup, but a bit more diversity in coloring would have been nice.

kind of moved by how makeup is used as a tool and treated as an art to transform people and how everyone has so much beauty in them… what if umiyak na lang ako! Impressive, almost unbelievable imagery from one of Hollywood’s most talented Make Up artists of our time (RIP). When Rita liked Ambrose, Fern was the one writing back and forth with Ambrose and signing rita's name. He features both friends and family, along with remarkable transformations of recognizable famous faces!He wanted people to know his book wasn’t really about makeup, rather, about helping others find their true beauty within and reflecting on the outside their inner beauty and how transformative that can be. I would have loved to see more vibrant looks, like Green eyeshadow, blue lipstick, a mardi gras look, vampire costume look, punk or goth, and some REALLY fun, maybe even halloween-inspired looks.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. After the section on basics, there's a section of "looks" developed for ordinary people (male and female) alongside their own stories, which makes the book very accessible for those who might feel distant from the subject. We can take inspiration from makeup looks from different cultures and imitate the looks of different races. I was pleasantly surprised to learn that it's a book about feeling comfortable with yourself, no matter how made up you are.Bee-sting pucker, pin curls, false eyelashes and the exact right eye-liner, the night was magnificent.
